romney doesn't have that as well. but i wouldn't be surprised if you see at some point, some job, a commission or something that romney's invited on. don't forget, his political career, he's not going to get involved on that front. but mr. echevarria, i want to ask you a question about whether the president made a line in the sand pledge to you guys that the country will not go over the cliff? did he do that? >> well, no, he didn't make a line in the pledge sand to us. at least i didn't interpret that. what he did say, because he said he wouldn't do a bad deal. >> reporter: right. >> because the cliff is a measure to solve the problem. it just happens to be very austere. he did recognize that the consequences of that, however, would be dire. but more importantly, we'd really miss an opportunity for uplift in the economy. the moment would get passed. so no line in the sand. >> joe, i have a question, all through the year i've been hearing from businesses and business leaders that one of the things that's stopping them
